Brief guide to Caenorhabditis elegans imaging and quantification

Abstract

Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model organism for fluorescence imaging to study gene regulation and cellular biomarkers. This concise MiniResource introduces essential imaging techniques for live and fixed C. elegans, sample preparations, microscopy, and common applications. We also outline basic image analysis workflows using open-source software. This guideline serves as a practical resource for researchers who seek implementing fluorescence imaging with C. elegans.
